Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
TRAVELING TO MARS #5

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

007: For King or Country #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – We loved the last miniseries and we’re expecting more fun with this one. Bond fans won’t want to miss out on this.

All the Devils Are Here #1 (Scout Comics) – It says it reinvents the exorcism story, and we’re interested in seeing how it does and if it pulls it off.

Ambassadors #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue was an interesting mix of Willy Wonka and superheroes and how it ties in Millarworld’s bigger picture has us intrigued.

Captain America: Cold War Alpha #1 (Marvel) – An event is coming and this kicks things off!

Dark Ride #5 (Image Comics) – We’re loving this horror series and excited to see where the next arc goes. Who’s corrupted? What are these demons? We want to know more!

Giant Kokju #1 (Image Comics) – A twist(ed) take on the giant monster genre.

The Gimmick #2 (AHOY Comics) – This superpowers meets wrestling series had a very interesting debut and we want to see where it goes from there.

Great British Bump off #1 (Dark Horse) – Described as an Agatha Christie-styled murder mystery set in a competitive baking competition, that has us completely sold on this.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Marvel) – The first issue is entertaining and has us wanting to find out what more happened. Read our early review.

Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 (VIZ Media) – The series has been great so far changing up the kaiju concept and then it did it again after well into the series. We want to see what happens next! Great action. Great images. Lots of fun.

Maniac of New York: Don’t Call it a Comeback #2 (AfterShock) – You thought Harry was killed? Guess what, that’s not the case. We’re loving this horror franchise.

Missing You (IDW Publishing) – Siblings who recently lost their mother bring an injured deer home to rescue it. We’re already holding back tears.

Phantom Road #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue was really interesting with a pair of individuals transported to a strange world. We’re not quite sure what’s going on and want to find out more.

Red Zone #2 (AWA Studios) – The series about an American Professor of Russian of Slavic studies being called in by the US government for a secret mission to Russia is interesting considering the state of the world.

Seasons Have Teeth #1 (BOOM! Studios) – In a drab, colorless world, the seasons bring change… and also destruction. The seasons arrive to a retired conflict photographer as personified, god-like creatures. Sounds original!

Space Job #3 (Dark Horse) – Each issue has had us cracking up in this workplace comedy meets Star Trek.

Star Wars: Ewoks #1 (Marvel) – Ewoks. Nuff said.

TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo: Wherewhen #1 (IDW Publishing) – It’s TMNT meets Usagi Yojimbo. We don’t need any more reason to be excited for this.

Traveling to Mars #5 (Ablaze) – The series has been an amazing mix of satire, comedy, and drama, all with a ton of heart. One of our favorites this year.

WildC.A.T.s #6 (DC Comics) – The series has delivered great action, solid moments with the characters and finally cracked the code in bringing the Wildstorm world into the DCU!

GCPD: Blue Wall #4

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Barbaric: Hell to Pay #1 (Vault Comics) – More Barbaric? Yes please! The series has been amazing off the rails fantasy.

Bomb (Roaring Brook Press) – The story of the development of the nuclear bomb.

Chicken Devils #2 (AfterShock) – A gang is now pissed about the lies our favorite fast food restaurant has been telling. More bodies will pile up in what’s sure to be insane violence!

GCPD: Blue Wall #4 (DC Comics) – The series has been amazing showing the gray and difficulty of being a part of the GCPD.

I Hate Fairyland #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been the full of the over the top violence we’ve been expecting and loved. Here’s hoping it keeps up its balance of insanity.

Immortal Sergeant #1 (Image Comics) – On the eve of his unwelcome retirement, Jim Sargent (aka “Sarge”) a grizzled, old-school detective, catches a break on a murder case that’s haunted him for decades.

Maniac of New York: Don’t Call It a Comeback #1 (AfterShock) – The previous two volumes have been amazing with their riff on classic slasher horror.

Vanity #3 (Scout Comics/Black Caravan) – The true story about Elizabeth Bathory, the Blood Countess. This one’s focused on the legendary witch hunts of 15th century Europe and their impact on Bathory.

White Savior #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – it’s up to Japanese-American teacher Todd Parker to warn the good people of Inoki of Nathan Garin’s true nature before he causes the very death and destruction they are counting on him to avert!

Maniac of New York: Don’t Call It a Comeback #1

Writer: Elliott Kalan 
Artist & Colorist: Andrea Mutti 
Letterer: Taylor Esposito 
Cover: Andrea Mutti 
Incentive Cover: Jonathan Luna
$4.99 / 32 pages / Color / On Sale 12.07.22

Maniac Harry, the seemingly unstoppable killer, has finally been stopped. The city celebrates, the Mayor takes the credit, and Maniac Task Force Director Gina Greene — last seen slicing the Maniac’s head open — has disappeared to parts unknown. Now NYPD Detective Zelda Pettibone must pick up the pieces of a life that’s suddenly so empty she almost wishes the Maniac was back. And, unfortunately, sometimes wishes are granted.  

THAT’S RIGHT, THERE’S A NEW MANIAC, BUT NOT THE ONE YOU’RE EXPECTING! Stay out of Central Park and stay away from cable news, ‘cause something terrifying is on the loose! 

Writer Elliott Kalan and artist Andrea Mutti return to the acclaimed horror-satire series for a tale of horrifying gore and even more horrifying cultural relevance!
